What Is Senior Home Care?

Caregivers and Aides play a crucial role in improving the quality of life for those who are not chronically ill, yet require some type of supervision and assistance. The 2000 Census reports that the current year value of companion services is estimated at $6.4 billion and is expected to increase up past $8 billion as the Baby Boomer generation continues to age. Here are some compelling statistics:

 

• Seniors prefer to stay in the comfort of their own home; it is called "Aging in Place."

 

• In 2010 the U.S. population of those aged 65 or older was 35 million strong.  By 2030 that number will be 70 million.

 

• A vast majority of adult children live several hundred miles away from their parents, which makes providing assistance extremely difficult.

 

• January 5, 2010 - The US Bureau of Labor named the Senior Care Industry as having three out of the top ten job growth markets through to 2020.

 

• Entrepreneur Magazine boasted that "Senior care was the hottest franchise idea for the year 2004." They also explained that, "The senior home care industry is only in its first inning, and dramatic explosive growth is still to come in the next three decades ahead."

 

• August 2, 2011 - StartupHomecare celebrates the creation of it's 50th home care agency.

 

• November 17, 2011 - Entrepreneur Magazine ranked StartupHomeCare - Americare Services Group in the "Top 10 For 2012."

 

 

How Do I Get Into The Senior Care Business?

There are several ways to get into the Senior Care Business; start your own, buy an agency, or pay a lot of money to a franchise organization. Buying a franchise usually means a territory purchase price of $25K-$150K and then 2.5%-7% of your gross sales for as long as you own the franchise.

The founders teach the Boot Camp courses so you learn from those who have actually owned a home care agency and been highly successful at growing it.

- StartupHomeCare provides cutting edge and state of the art marketing training and support. Our members know how to beat out their competition and consistently do that in their local communities using our innovative and one of a kind 'back door' sales/marketing program.
